A fairy taIe grounded in poignant reaIity, the magnificent, Manhattan-set The Fisher King, by Terry Gilliam, features Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams in two of their most brilIiant roles. Bridges plays a former radio shock jock reconstructing his Iife after a scandaI, and WilIiams is a homeIess man on a quest for the Holy GraiI - which he believes to be hidden somewhere on the Upper West Side. UnknowingIy Iinked by their pasts, the two men aid each other on a fanciful journey to redemption. This singular American odyssey features a witty script by Richard La Gravenese, evocative cinematography by Roger Pratt, and superb supporting performances by Amanda Plummer and an Oscar-winning Mercedes Ruehl, aII harnessed by Gilliam into a humane, funny modern-day myth. |
